About Me

This blog is my blissful journal of happiness. It’s about everything I adore and people I love. Thanks for stopping by. If you would like to write me, please feel free to email me: diana.mieczan@hotmail.comHave a jolly good day!

Are you a vegetarian or vegan? Or are you a meat eater? Recently
I overheard something interesting in a doctor’s office while waiting for my
turn. Supposedly meat-free diet boots your mood and makes you happier. Who
would have thought? It is all due to reduction of AA - the fatty acid found in
meat. I’m not a vegetarian and I eat meat occasionally but I’d love to try reducing
it even more for a month or so to see if I feel any different. Any thoughts? xo

Before I married my husband I used to eat meat very rarely but since he is such a meat-eater I started to get it weekly. Wish I could go back to eating it once a while. Those veggies look so good. Jill

In the same market as you. I also am not vegetarian, and eat meat occasionally. However, as you also, I want to eat less.My thoughts are eat more berries...so good for us....I don't always eat the whole berry...I juice several different types. My other thing is: Fruits...at least I try one or two a day...I hear how good bananas are for you, and though I eat them,certainly not a fav. However, I put them into my monthly menu, somehow. Since, I find they are stronger in flavor when 'real' ripe....I instead eat it when it's just right. Goes down easier. I know more beans, humus, mushrooms (the want to be meat) are great sub's. Hope this helps.

"The metastudy reported mortality ratios, where lower numbers indicated fewer deaths, for fish eaters to be 0.82, vegetarians to be 0.84, occasional meat eaters (eat meat less than once per week) to be 0.84. Regular meat eaters and vegans shared the highest mortality ratio of 1.00."- http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/70/3/516S

I go into the category of omnivores! hehe! just kidding! In realities, my Italian heritage is reflected very much in my eating habits ... basically Mediterranean, resulting in meat 2 or 3 times a month ...

This is so interesting. We rarely eat meat at our house and have recently cut out gluten as well, and I can tell a big difference in energy level and an overall healthy feeling, which I'm sure contributes to a better mood. That, combined with cooler fall temperatures makes for a happy soul!

I eat meat probably 3 times a week! I wish I could eat something healthier. My husband is a meat and potatoe kind of guy. I would eat sushi every day if i could. I also hear that meat is not the best for you. Protein can be found in nuts or other food types.

We don't eat a lot of meat in our household, a bit of chicken and we do love salmon .... I have recently given up sugar (well I have a very small sprinkle on my morning oats) but apart from that ... I can not believe how much better my skin and mood are (not to mention I have lost weight too) the main thing is no fat free things, fat free often equals lots of sugar ....

Oh yes we also love salmon and fish in general, Mandy. Btw: I've tried a while ago cutting sugar out of my diet for 2 full weeks and I managed to stick to it for about 10 days. I felt so much better and more energetic. I should try it again.

hello! just recently found your blog & have been so enjoying it! i've been vegan for 10 years and my husband is pescatarian.. we find it surprisingly easy.. once you find a few good products to cure the inevitable urges for the food we used to eat (; seitan can be a godsend sometimes! and vegenaise is a must for anyone! great blog!! xo, t.
